Toddler Approved Healthy Muffins

I am always on the hunt for new and fun things for my little dude to try. He has recently become "picky" and isn't a fan of most foods, but anything that comes in muffin form he loves. I have scoured the internet and tweaked a few recipes with what I had on hand. I like to avoid processed sugar, and limit flour.  He also has a egg and dairy allergy (although does okay with baked goods) but I avoid eggs and dairy if possible. I was able to get all the vegetables and fruit (aside from applesauce) from a local co-op for $4! All grown by local farmers. Have I mentioned how much I love Japan?

Toddler Approved Healthy Muffins

Diary free, egg free fruit and vegetable muffins

• 1.5 Tsp Baking Powder
• 1/2 Tsp Cinnamon
• 1 Cup Plain Flour (or Whole Wheat) 
• 1/2 Cup Applesauce 
• 1/3 Cup Grated Sweet Potato
• 1/3 Cup Grated Carrot
• 1/2 Cup Grated Pumpkin (I used Acorn Squash because it's what I had on hand)
• 1/2 Mashed Banana 
• 1/4 Cup Coconut Oil (I was running low so I had to add some extra applesauce)

I adapted this recipe from from Mummy Musings  

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix dry ingredients together in a bowl, in a separate bowl combine grated Sweet Potato, Carrot and Pumpkin (or Squash). Add wet ingredients, while adding grated items last.  Bake 15 minutes. Yields Approx 12 muffins.
